Let me just say, it’s been hot…hot, hot, hot around here!

I went for a run in the middle of the day yesterday and after crawling back home, I remembered why I try to run first thin in the morning. It was HOT. I’m not used to running in the 90 degree weather after the winter break, so I have to get my tolerance built up again.

Today, I couldn’t run in the morning and there was no way I was going out in the middle of the afternoon again. So I just made a big glass of this refreshing Lemon Lime Mojito and kicked back on my balcony. I did promise myself to make sure and run every morning this week. See, I figured that if I promise myself to do it every day, I will do at least 4.

Sounds totally doable, especially since I have this deliciousness to look forward to in the evening. You know what they say, “run like there is a pitcher of margaritas at the finish line!” Except I run like there are Mojitos at the finish line.
